Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 4 months, Covid-19 has had an impact on everyone. Everyone. Every person on this planet. Just the concept of that is mind blowing.
For a period of time, the whole of humanity came together while being apart. If you take away the misery and pain that this devastating disease has brought on, and focus on the fact that the country you come from, the language you speak, the colour of your skin, the leader you follow, your religious beliefs, your salary, the car you drive, your musical tastes and even the size of your garden...we are all the same.
We are human.
Gardening has been affected by the coronavirus. In fact we're lucky to even have any plants to buy! There were reports of nurseries having to consider throwing away hundreds and thousands of plants.
At the last moment, the government stepped in and many gardening businesses were given a reprieve.
Usually my baskets and containers are burgeoning under blousy summer bedding by now. This year is a little different. My pots all have a mixture of annuals and perennials...
Osteospermum jostle with dianthus and Petunias. Not my usual colour coordinating displays but at least there are blooms and I am so very grateful to those humans who despite lockdown, grew each plant for me.
Every
Single
Plant
And bloom
No human is more important than the next human. Not whether they are the president of a country, the monarch of another...or the human who cleans toilets for a living.
Each cog is vital.
Each human is important.
Each person matters.
Be kind.
